What Are Fingerling Potatoes?

Ok, maybe you have never purchased those little finger-shaped potatoes sold in small bags or little cardboard boxes before, but after this simple recipe, you might want to.

Fingerling potatoes have a soft texture and skin, making them ideal for roasting. Add some garlic and herbs to that mix and you have an epic side dish everyone will love!

Roasted Fingerling Potato Ingredients

The good thing about roasting fingerling potatoes is it doesn’t take much for them to turn into golden brown bits of goodness. A little oil, seasonings, and you’re good to go. Here’s what you’ll need to make these dreamy potatoes come true:

  • Fingerling potatoes
  • Garlic, crushed
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil

How to Make Oven Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

You can use this method for these baked fingerling potatoes or any variety, the 425F heat will help the potato skins crisp up and keep the centers tender. 

  1. Prepare 
    Preheat the oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. Toss
    Whisk together crushed garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Add the fingerling potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat. 
  3. Roast
    Spread potatoes onto the lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the skins are golden brown and potatoes tender. 

If you want to work ahead, these can be prepped the night before, put away in the fridge, and ready to reheat in the oven while you prepare the rest of your meal.

    So, I’m curious — what do you think caused the wrinkling before? …oven temperature (not hot enough, not salting the potatoes, not tossing in oil? Just wondering what you did previously, and what you changed that stopped the wrinkling. Thanks!

    They’re also the only potatoes that can be mashed in a food processor without getting that gummy texture. (Versus hand-mashing, or using a paddle mixer.)

    And trust me. With the seasonings you use here, mashing up the leftovers would taste ah-mazing! I grew up with onion, carrot, and garlic in our mashed potatoes. Everyone else’s tastes like paste to me.
